More Hardy experiments

Royal Hardy and Guard Captain Miller for @ink-29 's AU request ☺️

Heatwaveeeeeeeeeeeee ☀️☀️☀️☀️

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I'm so glad you do because I love drawing them!! oh that's an AU I've never heard of before! do you mean in a historical/high fantasy setting? is there a default setting for this type of AU? or do you mean current British royalty and King's guard?

Hello ☺️ Thank you so much!! I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my style!! I haven't been putting as much effort into dressing up lately and you make me want to go experiment more again 🥰 and of course, I'm happy to help! at least I hope I can! When it comes to brands like Zara and similar their sizing is very inconsistent across pieces and collections so make sure to check the measurements on their site for every piece, some of their XS will work on us assuming we have the same build (If the shoulders across seam is shorter than 34cm or the waist below 64cm it's usually true to size and you can make it work with a belt or minor adjustments) for the length of trousers I just hem them, it's impossible to find the right length so I just avoid anything with detail on the bottom so I can chop it off. I also avoid high rise since the mid rise fits like a high and the high fits like a bodysuit lmao. (the barrel jeans I'm wearing here are mid rise Zara for reference and they are still too high lmao) I get almost all brand stuff second hand from Vinted, so I image search the piece to find it listed on the brand's site to check measurements or ask the seller for them if I can't find it. I also order custom size clothes from time to time, mostly shirts and skirts since they are the hardest to fix for me. It's a bit expensive though so I always pick pieces I'm sure I'll wear a lot and materials I know will last forever like linen and wool and go for neutral colors. I've ordered a bunch through Etsy! (the shirt I'm wearing in the photos I just linked is tailored linen and I've had it for many years) For thrifted vintage finds I fix them myself or take them to a tailor if it's too daunting, blazers for example. OH also I recommend raglan sleeves! that way you don't have to worry about the shoulder seam falling too wide on you! especially great for coats and jackets! And if everything else fails I just go oversize. At least 2 sizes bigger than mine so it looks intentional. Works great for shirts and jumpers. For this I recommend blends that have a mid drape to it so that it flows down a bit and don't sit on you like a tent (unless that's the look you are going for of course, like with the cropped trench coats! I love those). Some pieces will make you look shorter though so keep in mind. I hope any of this helps!! I sympathize, finding anything that doesn't make you look like you are in costume or dressing in your parent's clothes is a struggle, especially if you like structured looks. It makes the shopping experience so tedious and humbling lmao, I gave up on buying in person at stores because of this unless it's thrifting 😭 ahh I wrote so much, I'll shut up now. Thank you for the message! I hope you and your family have a great day too!!

It's hydrangea blooming season!
